Explain why mess extinctions occur and why it make sense to measure geologic time between mass extinctions

1 answer:

3 0

Mass extinction occur from natural disasters, such as a n asteroid hitting earth or a volcano errupting and spread ash everywhere.

It makes sense to measure geologic time between mass extinctions because after each mass extinction, there is almost no life left and the few left have to repopulate, which may lead way to new mutations and new varieties of plants and animals.

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply here Doppler's effect in optics . The formula is as follows

$\frac{\triangle\lambda }{\lambda } = \frac{v}{c}$

Δλ is change in wavelength , λ is original wavelength , v is velocity and c is velocity of light

Δλ = 685 - 590 = 95 nm

λ = 685

95 / 685 = v / 3 x 10⁸

v = .416 x 10⁸ m / s

= 4.16 x 10⁷ m /s

You may jump higher because the more the mass of the planet, the more gravitational force. There is less mass(and gravity) on Callisto so you wouldn’t be weighed down as much and can jump higher. Whereas on Jupiter there is more weight holding you down.

Answer:

The intensity of the electric field is

$|E|=10654.37 \:N/C$

Explanation:

The electric field equation is given by:

$|E|=k\frac{q}{d^{2}}$

Where:

k is the Coulomb constant
q is the charge at 0.4100 m from the balloon
d is the distance from the charge to the balloon

As we need to find the electric field at the location of the balloon, we just need the charge equal to 1.99*10⁻⁷ C.

Then, let's use the equation written above.

$|E|=(9*10^{9})\frac{1.99*10^{-7}}{0.41^{2}}$

$|E|=10654.37 \:N/C$

I hope it helps you!

You are designing an optical fiber scope for directing light into a confined area. You want to keep light within the fiber. Base

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

For entry of light into tube of unknown refractive index

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sinr = μ , μ is the refractive index of the tube , r is angle of refraction in the medium of tube

r = 90 - C where C is critical angle between μ and body medium in which tube will be inserted.

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sin( 90 - C) = μ

sin65 / cos C = μ

sinC = 1.33 / μ , where 1.33 is the refractive index of body liquid.

From these equations

sin65 / cos C = 1.33 / sinC

TanC = 1.33 / sin65

TanC = 1.33 / .9063

TanC = 1.4675

C= 56°

sinC = 1.33 / μ

μ = 1.33 / sinC

= 1.33 / sin56

= 1.33 / .829

μ = 1.6 Ans
